"William Paynel occurs in the period 1070-81 as a party to an agreement at Bayeux with the abbot of Mont St. Michel concerning the terms of the military service by which he held of the abbot several manors constituting an honour; this honour had been given him by king William in marriage; the lands lay in the department of La Manche; and as one of the tenants was named Hugh de Bricaville it may be assumed that these lands included Bricqueville-sur-mer. It is significant that this place was later held of the abbot of Mont St. Michel by the Paynels of Hambye; and it is a reasonable deduction that they derived their title as heirs of William Paynel." EYC vol. 6 pg. 1 This agreement has been pd. by Stapleton in Archaeologia, xxvii, 27, and by Haskins in Norman Institutions, pg. 21; there is a full abstract in Round, Cal. Docs. France, no. 714. Stapleton, op. cit., p 23 describes this fief as that of Bricqueville-sur-mer; and Le Prevost, Orderici Vitalis Hist. Eccl., iii, 259 assumes that William Paynel had married the heiress of the land of Bricqueville-sur-mer. | ||
